Game takes place on 2 continents, one that looks suspiciously like Barensia and the other looks like Archanea... The Archanea lookalike has three nations--Feria to the north, Perezia to the west and Iris to the east.

FrederickA calm and collected knight serving the Holy Kingdom of Iris. Supports Krom as his deputy in the vigilante force. His class is Great Knight, a promoted unit who fights on a horse. He is a veteran who prefers guiding others and a great asset against powerful foes.

SumiaA member of the vigilante force. She is a klutz and feels that she isn't up to the job because of it. Possesses the mysterious ability of understanding the feelings of animals. Her class is Pegasus Knight; her mobility on a pegasus is her selling point.

CullumAn armoured Knight who serves the vigilante force. He is a front-line fighter, due to his great defence. However, he's sorely lacking in presence and isn't noticed even among his fighting peers. Will he ever appear in the spotlight one day...?

RonkuA Myrmidon from the Kingdom of Feria, located to the north of Iris. He is a man with a cool personality, and keeps his feelings to himself. He's skilled with swords, but apparently bad with women for some reason. How he joins Krom's group is still unknown.

In the world of Awakening, there is a legend about the Divine Dragon Naga, who protects mankind, and the Evil Dragon Gimle, who wishes for mankind's destruction. The story begins in the Holy Kingdom of Iris, a nation ruled by the descendants of the Holy King who vanquish the Evil Dragon with the Divine Dragon's strength.

Emelina is the current Holy King of Iris and Krom and Liz's elder sister. She is said to be a peace-loving, kind and forgiving queen.

To the west of Iris lies the nation of Perezia, where the followers of the Evil Dragon and Iris's sworn enemy, the Gimle Cult, have gathered, leading to increasing tension between the two nations.

The militant nation of Feria is located north of both Perezia and Iris. To the far west is a mysterious continent, which resembles the continent of Barensia from Gaiden.
